Lightning Lap 18

A lap time might be the best distillation of a vehicle's performance. No other single number more effectively sums up a car's acceleration, braking, and handling abilities. VIR's grueling 4.1-mile Grand Course is the best place we've found to acquire that number.

A Current Affair

Already used in computers and other electronics, the e-fuse is finding a home in automotive applications, kicking the classic blade-style fuse to the curb.

THE MAD SCRAMBLE

AN 814-HP V-12 THAT SCREAMS TO 9400 RPM IS JUST THE START OF THE INTENSE EXPERIENCE THAT IS THE LAMBORGHINI REVUELTO.

The Volkswagen Taos puts some newfound power behind its swing.

LOTS OF SMALL CHANGES can make a big difference, and that's just Volkswagen's strategy with the little Taos's mid-cycle refresh. New lights and wheel designs, a nicer interior with a larger screen, and some hardware tweaks have made this feature-filled small SUV more compelling for 2025.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord, and the Hyundai Sonata all take different approaches to hybridization, but which one does it best?

G to the Power of E

Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology HIGHS: Quicker than the old G550, improved handling, better braking. LOWS: Cubist shape torpedoes highway range, cramped inside, dorky name.

Duke Boys Face Charges

The Dodge Charger Daytona takes the good ol' muscle car and gives it a new-age powertrain, whether we're ready or not.

The Revivalist

The Nissan Murano emerges fresh-faced and revitalized from a long-overdue redo.

2022 Rivian R1T

This EV pickup proves to be E-Z to live with.

The Best Odds

The cars I recall most fondly were neither the prettiest nor the quickest. Certainly not the most expensive. They were machines that emerged willfully peculiar and intractably idiosyncratic.

The Achilles Kneel

Mercedes-Benz W123 wagons doing the Carolina Squat can get their droopy self-leveling rear suspension back up to snuff courtesy of a Californian.

Dollars to Donuts

Despite the high cost, automakers are still drawn to racing.

Race for Time

One of the coolest trophies in racing is the Rolex watch awarded to winners of the 24 Hours of Daytona.

AN AMERICAN TOURING SCOTLAND IN AN ENGLISH CAR BUILT IN CHINA

In Dornbach, Scotland, Kitman walks past a modern MG and a Morris Minor, its distant relative. From left: Motoring through the Scottish Highlands; lobster traps in Dunbeath; taking on electrons at Gridserve; traversing the North Sea coast.

Spite Defender

Ineos Grenadier HIGHS: Dapper off-road style meets genuine off-road capability, wonderfully smooth powertrain, built like a brick outhouse. LOWS: Incessant warnings, sloppy and slow steering, noisy on the highway.

GOTCHA

THE SILENT BATTLE BETWEEN RADAR DETECTORS AND TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT.

A VORTEX OF POINTS RACING AND CHARTERSYSTEM LAWSUITS IS HINDERING NASCAR'S ON-TRACK ACTION.
